# ByteOrder

`public final class ByteOrder`
`extends Object` ``

java.lang.Object
↳ | java.nio.ByteOrder

A typesafe enumeration for byte orders.

## Summary

### Fields
`public static final ByteOrder` | `BIG_ENDIAN` Constant denoting big-endian byte order.
`public static final ByteOrder` | `LITTLE_ENDIAN` Constant denoting little-endian byte order.

### Public methods
`static ByteOrder` | `nativeOrder()` Retrieves the native byte order of the underlying platform.
`String` | `toString()` Constructs a string describing this object.

### Inherited methods
From class `java.lang.Object`
`Object` | `clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean` | `equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void` | `finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>` | `getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int` | `hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void` | `notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void` | `notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String` | `toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void` | `wait(long timeout, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void` | `wait(long timeout)` Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
`final void` | `wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.

## Fields

### BIG_ENDIAN

    public static final ByteOrder BIG_ENDIAN

Constant denoting big-endian byte order. In this order, the bytes of a multibyte value are ordered from most significant to least significant.

### LITTLE_ENDIAN

    public static final ByteOrder LITTLE_ENDIAN

Constant denoting little-endian byte order. In this order, the bytes of a multibyte value are ordered from least significant to most significant.

## Public methods

### nativeOrder

    public static ByteOrder nativeOrder ()

Retrieves the native byte order of the underlying platform.

This method is defined so that performance-sensitive Java code can allocate direct buffers with the same byte order as the hardware. Native code libraries are often more efficient when such buffers are used.

Returns
`ByteOrder` | The native byte order of the hardware upon which this Java virtual machine is running

### toString

    public String toString ()

Constructs a string describing this object.

This method returns the string `"BIG_ENDIAN"` for `BIG_ENDIAN` and `"LITTLE_ENDIAN"` for `LITTLE_ENDIAN`.

Returns
`String` | The specified string
